Oh dear! Hopefully the medication will make things a bit more bearable! Try and rest up as much as possible.

I'll be 28 weeks on Sunday.

Are any of you other ladies having Braxton Hicks all the time? I've been getting loads since about 22 weeks. They seem to be getting more frequent and stronger as time goes on. Some of them really take my breath away! Xx

Hi ya sarah im 34wks today u poor pet I cant imagine the pain ur in it s so stressful with blood pressure if it goes up hard to believe these babies be ere soon try take it easy for the wknd I have to get out shopping today my nieces birthday and try get some x mas presents the only problem is I cant walk too far I get dizzy all of a sudden will get a fizzy drink to keep up sugar rush I cant get enough choclate at the moment im going to be huge by the time babies come my shoulders are in such pain from leaning on them in bed I find it hard to sleep I usually lie on my stomach

Could've clamped her hand haha that made me lol! I hope the medication works and things ease for you soon.
I'm 30 weeks today and the bump is as big as a beach ball and I'm not even exaggerating. Another 7 weeks max to go and I'm counting the days!

Hiya Josie, Arlene and be, thanks everyone.
J- yes braxtons having loads, belly goes all tight and i feel it's harder to breath, then it passes. suppositries and cream Don't seem to be shrinking owt yet..... hope it's one of them things that take a few days to start then all of a sudden it will shrink
A- did you get some xmas shopping done? It must be hard work carrying and have littlies with you as well.
B- I think you may be reaching your wall, if your starting to feel massive and counting down. I was there earlier this week. Alot of things all of a sudden are bugging me and doing simple things seems really hard work.
I've got a 34 week scan tomorrow where they will also give me a date for the steroid injection for the week before I have babies. Only 17 days for me now. I'm apprehensive about them being ok when they are born- I woke up last night for few hours stressing out about this- Is anyone else worried? Xxx

Im stressing over everything as well sarah im so physically tired with the children im exhausted by the evening while the two yr old running up and down the hall I have to get hubby to help with food shopping im not able to manage lifting bags I got a gud bit of shopping done I cant believe the amount of people shopping also one more trip to do there stocking s sweet s and I might have a gud bit then

Orhhh Arlene (hug). I am in same boat. Absolutely tired out and kids running rings round me. I keep trying to advise myself as i would give advice to someone else- I'm kinder to myself that way. So think about what advice you might give to another woman in your position. And obviously cut corners when you can, beans on toast is fine for tea! Lol. As for your presents, glad you half fixed, i felt great when I had bought last of kids stuff. I know I will appreciate no Christmas shopping with twins and kids after section and tiredness I am bound to feel. xxx

Me too ladies.. I'm starting to have them moments where I suddenly panic thinking that there's a high chance the babies could arrive early. I'm planning to write my birth plan and get started on packing my hospital bag this week, hoping that will make me calm down a bit when I start to panic.

I'm also trying to work through my to do list at home to get the house ready for their arrival, mainly cleaning and getting their furniture and clothes in the right places.. just need to find the motivation and energy to it! You're right Sarah, I've definitely reached that point, I feel like my days are not passing!

I was looking online for advice on getting through the third trimester when expecting twins and most people have said it only gets worse! Eeek... they're saying you can forget the hardship of labour and the sleepless nights with two babies but you'll never forget the hardship of the third trimester! I don't know whether to laugh or cry lol

Stupid question but when does the 3rd trimester actually start? I assumed about 26 weeks because 40/3 would be 13.3ish so I was thinking 2 trimesters would be up to about 26.6ish weeks but then in work I said I was 25 weeks and someone said ooh 3rd trimester already. I didn't want to look stupid so I just smiled and nodded lol

Hiya everyone- hope you are all well.
Not sure about third tri starting.....if you just feel massive your prob there! Hahahha.
I went for scan and consultant yest, babies are doing great, measuring 5lb 3oz and 5lb 6oz- at 34 week! I've been preparing myself mentally for these little tiny babies and might end up having great weighs at 36 week. Booked for pre-op this Thurs. Then steroids Sunday and Monday before section.
Also worked last shift Sunday so im on mat leave, yipeeeeeee.
Be- yes I still haven't packed but intend to this week. :/ all the way through this pregnancy I feel like I've had anxiety after anxiety over various twin things, at the various stages of their development and interesting peaks just before a consult ant n scan app and to be honest everything has gone amazing well, i am there abouts healthy and plodding along, happy in the knowledge that they have been cooking another day. This was my primary concern when I found i was having twins, but has turned out unfounded as they have donr so well
I'm just getting my one year old to bed, morrisons as just been delivered and dumped in the kitchen, so I better put it away. Never online grocery shopped before but figured I'd give it ago since it will make my life easier when babies are born. Although they did substitute fairy washing tab (at £3 for 19) for bigger pack of fairy tabs (at £8.50 for 25!!!!!!!) As if......... no, you can take them back I said. Driver said morrisons are bad for substituting for more expensive products.
Have a calm night everyone. Xxx

I know! I'm beginning to get more excited now too. Knowing il see them soon- it's just crazy to think there is two in there! Two babies to look after at same time, wooooah, lol. Can't wait to see them and wondering if they will be really identical or if you can easily tell apart.
Be, will you be having babies at 36 or 37 weeks? Have they gone through your birth plan yet? Xx

Mine are non identical so they've said they'll discuss induction if I get to 37 weeks. I'm really hoping for natural birth though, but either way definitely want to try for vaginal birth rather than csec. Good thing is birth babies are head down so I'm hoping that doesn't change now.
I'm still to do the birth plan.. on my long list of things to do!

Hi be R im the very same my ankles are really swelled and Im afraid when go to hospital tomorrow they going to keep me my bump is sore when I hit it of something sore at the bottom and top of belly and trying really hard to feel both babies in the evening my shoulders are killing me from constantly leaning from side to side when sleeping

Oh I'm sorry to hear that Arlene, is so hard isn't it, the aches and pains. My bump is sore at the top and bottom too, my ribs and shoulder blades feel bruised.
So will they keep you in now till you deliver babies? When are you booked in to have the c section? X
